Fluffy Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 I have a question for people who wear contacts and make-up.I am thinking of wearing contacts for going out etc.. but is most make-up suitible for contact wearers or should you wear hypoallergenic/sensitive stuff?Also is it ok to put then lenses in first or after?Thanks for any help, I don't know anyone who wears contacts so I can't ask anyone else.

Princess Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Your suppose to put the contacts in before applying make up.I've been wearing contacts for years and also wear lots of eye make up and have never had any problems at all. I just wear normal make up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhiannon Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 I always get eye liner or mascara on my contacts whe I visit the optician (even if I haven't been wearing make up that day ) they're never too impressed.Never had any problems with make up and lenses, though take them out before removing make up! Make up remover ruins the lenses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Keira Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 It shouldn't be a problem at all, easier to put them in before the eye make up though.. Anyway, it's easy as pie. If pie were easy.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumbdegenerate Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 just be careful with eyeliner if you apply it to the inside of your lower eyelid, can cause slight bluring if it rubs off on the lens and floats around a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumbdegenerate Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 oh, and take the lenses out before removing the make-up, i've lost count of the number of times i've wiped my eyelid too hard and had to fish around to find the lens after i've mushed it to one side!

NARC Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 As the only eligible bachelor so far to post on this thread, I would like to confidently assert that contact lenses have improved my life a trillion times over, with their ease of fitting, and all-round vision. As well as making me beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted August 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 If anyone is intrested, i found this website - http://www.contactlenses.co.uk/ for buying contacts -branded ones too- way cheaper than in the shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamilleY Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I've been buying contacts from http://www.visiondirect.co.uk for ages. You order them one day and get them the next. This is the cheapest site I've found, depending on your type of lens.If you feel safer using an optician (especially for your first three months) you should maybe try ASDA. Their contacts the cheapest on the highstreet and once you feel happier, you can buy them online from http://www.asda-contactlenses.co.ukThe only problem I have with wearing contacts is trying to get them out at silly a.m. while drunk. . . .

Miss Groupie Supreme Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 oh' date=' and take the lenses out before removing the make-up, i've lost count of the number of times i've wiped my eyelid too hard and had to fish around to find the lens after i've mushed it to one side![/quote'] haha I do that. I hate it but I always forget I have them in. I have hard contact lenses so it hurts sooooo much when they get moved off the eye.I have managed to get eyeliner on mine before but it easily solved by cleaning them.
